A Tired Person

a few weeks ago i was in a car accident that left my vehicle useless. i had to sell it for parts for about a hundred dollars. i was basically living out of that car because i cannot go back to my parents home where my racist queerphobe brother in law (who is an nra member and makes the place completely unsafe) lives. now i have to take public transportation all over san diego county, which can be expensive at times, just so i can get around to my doctors appointments and to my belongings that i’ve had to store at people’s places where i’m allowed to. my car was my only real form of income (i was doing delivery services for an app). i am really in need of financial assistance. anything you can give will be tremendously helpful in this trying time. i’m a disabled trans woman of color and finding employment has been impossibly difficult. thank you for your time an attention.

like… not only can I not marry the love of my life without losing my health insurance and the $800 or so a month I’m forced to survive on

but I can’t even CALL her “my wife” casually

like literally the US gov’t has people whose job it is to go and interview the family, friends, & neighbors of disabled people to just make sure that they never refer to anyone in their life as “my wife” or “my husband” etc

and if you DO, then SNAP! You’re defrauding the US gov’t of the pittance you can barely survive on and you are no longer entitled to your disability benefits

(some kinds of benefits might remain in diminished form but if you were disabled before age 22 you are fucked COMPLETELY and can’t get them back even if you divorce… the only loophole is if the other person was ALSO deemed disabled before 22, because that fucking makes sense)

and this is just… legal and no one but disabled activists ever talks about this shit

It took a few months, but my positive horror series is finally finished! A silly little project I started late September ended up with 14 images and rekindling my love of horror!
